Bug#556538: libclass-xsaccessor-perl: tries to overwrite file on upgrade

[Jonathan Yu]

Hi:

Recommended resolution: remove libclass-xsaccessor-array-perl from
unstable (and thus testing). It does not exist in stable or oldstable.

I believe this is because Class::XSAccessor::Array no longer exists
upstream as its own package.

A search for it shows:

Class::XSAccessor
Generate fast XS accessors without runtime compilation
Class-XSAccessor-1.05***** (2 Reviews) - 15 Nov 2009 - Steffen Müller

Class::XSAccessor::Heavy
Guts you don't care about
Class-XSAccessor-1.05***** (2 Reviews) - 15 Nov 2009 - Steffen Müller

Class::XSAccessor::Array
Generate fast XS accessors without runtime compilation
